Yeah what’s the big deal anyway? Mass murdering the defenseless is just good tactics in war...but only if done to my enemy.This is the standard by which you wish to live? I hope you have no small children.In a world war, there is no such thing as a non-combatant.
Actually that was the standard of warfare Lincoln used and many others came to copy in WW II; it's not a 'standard' it is what 'total war' means;Germany adopted it in WW I with the bombings of London and again in WW II, so did the Japanese in their invasions throughout the early part of the Century before they allied with Germany, and it is the kind of warfare they would have used on us. I have zero sympathy for the Japanese or the Germans or the Soviets; they made their beds and reaped what they sowed.
It's just bizarre that all the sniveling and whining and twisted 'morality' going on here is directed at the U.S. for some reason; I guess that is what happens when ideological usefulness trumps historical realities these days.
Killing one's enemy before they can kill them typically separates the winners from the losers.
